Enter the Lair of Beasts, a gothic retelling of Red Riding Hood, and relive the romantic horror through the eyes of a Beauty and her Beast.
❅
Aria is only a child of ten when she is hastily removed from her medieval village and her guardianship carelessly relinquished into the hands of a stranger from the north; a land of harsh winters and fleeting daylight. Although she finds herself afforded every luxury, there is an unmistakable darkness pervading the forest and the ominous keep itself. A tangible weave of secrets has ever shrouded her new family, especially the unsettling and enigmatic man to whom she is betrothed.
But curiosity is too powerful a force to forbear, and it soon compels her into the woods to seek out the truth for herself. There is, after all, nothing more frightening than discovering her own heritage; and realizing that she was in the lair of beasts the entire time.

I read this book on Wattpad (not sure if it’s available anywhere else) and wow. It blew me away. This story deserves to be pulbished. The author’s writing style is incredible and her storytelling is amazing. It’s a wonderful blend of mythology. And who doesn’t love werewolves? This is a must read!
